Summary: Asian countries have made numerous efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on stormwater management. Traditional stormwater systems have become overwhelmed, leading to excessive runoff and frequent floods. It is crucial to adopt sustainable stormwater management practices to effectively control water quantity and quality. Green roofs and grass swales are favored by stormwater practitioners and are considered the most preferable practices for implementation in Asian countries.

Summary: This paper discusses the evaluation and management of potential groundwater in a specific study area. Groundwater is the most preferred water source in all climatic zones due to its availability, dependability, quality, and low cost. The rural areas, representing over 85% of the population, face a shortage of potable water supply which can be addressed through proper groundwater utilization. The study assesses the groundwater potential in the area and identifies four different zones. However, the current management practices in the study area are inadequate, highlighting the need for immediate and appropriate responses to address the challenges.

Summary: Accelerating challenges have led to a growing interest in assessing the resilience and sustainability of future developments. Many countries have adopted the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for sustainable development goals (SDGs), which include resilience as a component of sustainability. However, the SDGs have been criticized for not thoroughly evaluating resilience. This study compares the SDGs indicators with a comprehensive baseline resilience framework (BRF) and evaluates the extent to which the SDGs measure resilience.

Summary: This study investigates the causal relationship between logistics efficiency and factors affecting the logistics environment, such as industrialization, urbanization, and CO2 emissions. The results show that factors affecting the logistics environment have different effects depending on the modes of transportation. For maritime transportation, there were long-run bidirectional causal associations between port volume, total exports, industrialization, and urbanization. On the other hand, for air transport, there was a long-run, unidirectional causal relationship among the variables and air volume changes with growing exports, urbanization, and industrialization.

Summary: This study uses Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to identify the core determinants for selecting LNG bunkering ports from the perspective of South Korean liner shipping companies. The study confirms that there are 11 components that influence the selection of LNG bunkering ports, which can be grouped into three categories: basic requirements, port attractiveness (differentiation), and core components. The top three determinants are recognized as core determinants that individually impact the decision-making of shipping companies. The findings of this study can serve as a reference for policymakers and ports in developing effective LNG bunkering port strategies.

Summary: Estuaries and coastal areas are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change and sea level rise. This research presents a salinity transport model for Biscayne Bay and investigates the potential impacts of altered precipitation, increased salinity/temperature, and sea level rise on bay salinity. The findings suggest that current restoration plans may not be sufficient to maintain current salinity conditions, and management measures such as urban greening, artificial groundwater recharge, and water consumption reduction should be considered.

Summary: The study shows that spatiotemporal simulation modeling is an effective tool for investigating management options in ecosystem-based fisheries management. It demonstrates that fisheries restricted areas can help rebuild the biomass of exploited stocks, but their effectiveness depends on the size and location of the areas. The study also suggests that a parallel reduction in total fishing effort is necessary to achieve the highest benefits of protection.
